Navy Reserve Emphasis on Youth at Terminal Island Center
The Terminal Island Naval Reserve Training Center in Long Beach focuses on youth aged 17 to 18 to recruit non-veterans and prepare teens for the draft. Commander M. H. Hubbell describes a threefold aim: acquaint youths with military life, ease civilian transition, and inform parents about service. Training mirrors regular seaman standards, with parental consent, exams, and pay during weekly drills. The Long Beach unit has 405 members, with 250 currently active including 150 teenagers, and offers diverse studies and opportunities such as Naval Academy quotas and summer cruises.
